abstract

Dynamical mean-field theory is used to study the three orbital model of the $d^3$ compound SrRu$_2$O$_6$ both with and without explicitly including the O-$p$ states. Depending on the size of the Hund's coupling $J$, at low to intermediate temperatures we find solutions corresponding to Mott or correlated covalent insulator. The latter can explain the experimentally observed absence of Curie susceptibility in the paramagnetic phase. At high temperatures a single phase with smoothly varying properties is observed. SrRu$_2$O$_6$ provides an ideal system to study the competition between the local moment physics and covalent bonding since both effects are maximized, while spin-orbit interaction is found to play a minor role.
